The Choice of Legends

The SG™ Standard ‘61 Maestro™ Vibrola™ returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. As the name implies, the Gibson SG Standard '61 Maestro Vibrola adds vibrato capability to the SG Standard '61. The Maestro Vibrola offers smooth vibrato effects and the classic styling of the Lyre engraving on the tailpiece cover. Standard features include a SlimTaper™ mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. The mahogany body features a deeply sculpted body scarfing, a 5-ply teardrop pickguard, and a 22nd-fret neck joint. The nickel-plated hardware includes a classic-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Keystone tuners in addition to the Maestro Vibrola Tailpiece. The pickups are 60s Burstbucker™ humbuckers™ for a classic voice with added power and top end. Controls feature audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors.

    Owned exact guitar from 1971

    "Owned exact guitar from 1971 to 1974 (except with double batwing pick guard). Excellent recapture of what I had and wished to have once again. Craftsmanship every bit as good. Aldo I was concerned about the neck dive issue that certain SGs had some years ago. Very happy to see that was corrected and the instrument is true to the original in every respect."
